i guess thats one way to make pakistan an ally

Isn't Pakistan part of the "Coalition of the Willing (To Not Be Bombed)"?

I wonder if that's why Poland joined.

It was the threat of a Polska Kielbasa embargo that got to me.

Eastern Euopeans love democracy, are grateful to the US for our help in ending the cold war and are still scared of Russia. America can do no wrong there and is still very popular even with the Bushtard in office. These countries want really close ties to the US.

 

Anyways, if you've been wondering what we "won" with all that money we spent in the cold war ... the liberation and gratitiude of Eastern Europe is at the top of my list.

Come on, he can't be that bad. I mean just recently someone said that Bush got a lot of votes because he's like a regular joe. Just like anyone of us. So if you're damning him you're damning all of us!!

[Sho Nuff 720]

I actually like that we threatened them at that point.

Agreed. I really don't see what's so wrong or suprising about this.

 

The Pakistani intelligence community pretty much put the Taliban in power. After 9/11 we went to them and said we're going to get rid of the Taliban in Afghanistan...you can continue to support the Taliban, in which case we will go after you next or you can help us.

thats fine with me, but Bush dressed it up like Pakistan was this great ally and friend. turns out, they chose life over death.

Yeah... ...I mean why would we try to help Musharraf help us against the Taliban by letting him save some face among his people?

 

We already knew that there was going to be a significant segment of his people who were going to oppose going after the Taliban b/c they were just as backwards and intolerant. I would say that it made perfect sense to present Pakistan as an ally, as opposed to as an emeny whose hand was being forced. Not only did it make Musharraf's job a little easier than if we had gone the alternate route, but it rewarded Pakistan for helping us out (by putting them on a more level playing field with their enemy...and our ally...India.)

Looks like reports now suggest Armitage is the one that made this threat.

 

Although now Armitage is denying he made the threat.

ROVE!!!!!

 

Bush said he first heard of the alleged threat "in the newspaper today."

CNN.COM

 

 

1. He heard it in the newspaper?

 

 

2. I call Bullshiit. Bush admits that he never reads the newspaper.

 

 

...except when Diick Cheney reads "Marmaduke" to him. - What a scamp!

please, you make it sound as if we helped pakistan by threatening to kill them.

 

let me hold a gun to your head and tell you to fellate a horse, and when you are done, tell you how healthy the horse was and the benefits of the protein shake you swallowed

itsatip that reading comprehension

 

We wanted him to help us get the Taliban. Enacting the policies that we wanted him to would have been a much more difficult thing to do if his people thought that it was being done b/c we threatened to bomb his country back to the stone age.

If the alternative was the central government actively giving the Taliban and AQ refuge, then I have no problem with that.

Apparently you missed my point (SUR-PRISE, SUR-PRISE :oldrolleyes:.)

 

Sometimes the stick is more effective if the public thinks you used the carrot.
